< Psalms 63 >
1 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;
Salimo la Davide. Pamene anali mʼchipululu cha Yuda. Inu Mulungu, ndinu Mulungu wanga, moona mtima ine ndimakufunafunani; moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Inu, thupi langa likulakalaka inu, mʼdziko lowuma ndi lotopetsa kumene kulibe madzi.
2 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
Inu ndinakuonani ku malo anu opatulika ndipo ndinapenya mphamvu zanu ndi ulemerero wanu.
3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
Chifukwa chikondi chanu ndi choposa moyo, milomo yanga idzakulemekezani.
4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
Ndidzakutamandani masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo mʼdzina lanu ndidzakweza manja anga.
5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
Mudzakhutitsa moyo wanga ndi zonona. Ine ndidzakutamandani ndi mawu anthetemya.
6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
Pa bedi panga ndimakumbukira inu; ndimaganiza za Inu nthawi yonse ya usiku.
7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
Chifukwa ndinu thandizo langa, ine ndimayimba mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.
8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
Moyo wanga umakangamira Inu; dzanja lanu lamanja limandigwiriziza.
9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
Iwo amene akufunafuna moyo wanga adzawonongedwa; adzatsikira kunsi kozama kwa dziko lapansi.
10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
Iwo adzaperekedwa ku lupanga ndi kukhala chakudya cha ankhandwe.
11 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
Koma mfumu idzakondwera mwa Mulungu; onse amene amalumbira mʼdzina la Mulungu adzalemekeza Mulunguyo, koma pakamwa pa anthu onama padzatsekedwa.
